    I am 29, married for one 1 year, been together with my wife for 7 years. I am struggling with depression. I hate porn though I have to admit to myself that I am addicted to it to a lesser degree. I often say to myself 'porn is poison'. I firmly hold this belief. It is a new plague. The fifth horseman would be called ¨porn¨.

    Excessive masturbation is a problem too. I used to do it seven times per week, meaning once per day on average. However for the last two months, it was more like once every two or three days. In February I had a short-lived streak; I managed to get through 11 days until I succumbed.

    The last three days of the streak were becoming increasingly insupportable; insomnia, feeling agitated and nervous all the time, very moody, major headaches, in short I was unable to function properly and to do my work in a professional manner.

    Hence, I decided that this can only work for me, if I break up the ultimate goal (no PMO) into smaller, more realistically achievable goals.

    One step at a time, so to speak. Right now, I am tackling my goal of stopping watching and consuming all sorts of pornographic material altogether. My next goal is to go ¨no PMO¨ for one week. From there I plan to gradually extend my ¨no PMO¨ intervals.

    On a different note, I would like to ask married people and people in relationships in general on this platform, preferably those in the age-bracket 25-40 and who have been in their relationship for at least 5 years, in terms of intimacy and sexual intercourse frequency, what is your average per month? Please be truthful. Thank you for reading my thread. God bless.
